| dc.description.abstract | Papayas from 14 Kenyan varieties were analysed for dry matter, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, total sugar, vitamin C, total carotenoids and β‐carotene. There were significant varietal differences (p < 0.05) among the levels of dry matter, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, total sugar, vitamin C, total carotenoids and β‐carotene, but no significant differences among pH values. | en |
